OK, I remember now. When I was building the initrd image with busybox,
I was ripping the libraries from the linux host on which I was doing
the build.

There's some interaction between glibc and the kernel, and RH9 and
later use the new thing, and patch the 2.4 kernel to work with it (2.4
by default uses the "old thing" -- I still don't remember specifically
what the problem was :) :) ).

So, either rip the kernel from the host box as well, along with glibc,
or use a glibc that works with the stock 2.4 kernel on the initrd...

Thanks Mike for jogging my memory a bit... :)
